10 Qualities a Prosperous Wife-to-Be Possesses

To find a compatible mate, a prosperous man looks for a woman who embraces godliness, not just possess outer beauty. A prosperous man knows a woman who lives in a "reality show," fairy-tale world, will not foster a stable and lasting union, in order to establish a prosperous life, but will create drama that serves no meaningful purpose. There is nothing prosperous about a housewife who bickers with other women. And pretending to be a God-fearing woman will not work because "Bridezilla" will definitely show up and "show out" during wedding planning.

1. Nurturing. A  prosperous woman knows how to keep her family safe, healthy and alive. A nurturing woman provides, not only healthy meals for her family, but spiritual "food" for them to have a balanced life of wellness and prosperity. A woman, who doesn’t tend to her family, will jeopardize her family’s wellness, from their health and safety, to their prosperity and eternal fate.
2. Godly.  A prosperous woman exercises inner godly strength and discernment. She approaches life with confidence in Christ and has a respectful gentleness for life that has no tolerance for drama. She doesn't play with drama, she blocks it by living a godly life, whereby it cannot come near her. Her godly character carries her steadfast, in season and out of season, through good times and hard times, and keeps her family on a path of prosperity, for life. Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD shall be praised. –Proverbs 31:30
3. Respectful. A respectful woman is sensible with her money and can be trusted with the household money and family affairs. A woman who hides her spending and doesn’t stay within her household means, doesn’t respect her husband’s contribution and hard work to provide for his family. A respectful woman doesn't try to look good, at the expense of making her husband look foolish. For more information, read "1 Reason a Man Won't Propose Marriage."
4. Wise. Wisdom is paramount to live prosperously. A woman, whose talent is twerking, is not a woman that a prosperous man will typically look for to unite in matrimony. An unwise woman will tear a house down, will spend recklessly and will leave her family destitute. A woman, who lacks godly wisdom, will hoard material items, at the expense of her family’s wealth and well-being. However, a godly woman has wisdom that will protect her family’s well-being. A wise woman makes her husband proud; an ungodly woman will be an embarrassment to her husband and her family.
5. Good Health. The health of a woman affects her family's health and well-being. A chain-smoker or habitual wine drinker is not the ideal woman to bear children and raise them. A woman who doesn’t tend to her health,  live a calm life, eat sensible and live responsible, will become a burden to her family—in addition to jeopardize her family’s health and safety. If the woman is the primary cook and housekeeper for the family, she doesn’t simply control what they eat, she controls their overall health that can affect them for life; household cleanliness affects the air they breath, and the foods they eat can boost their health or threaten their lives.
6. A Friend. A prosperous man looks for a genuine friend for a mate, who makes good times great and bad times bearable and hopeful, which can make for an overall rewarding life.
7. Likeable. A prosperous man looks for a mate that will get along with his relatives because he knows a woman who doesn't get along with his family will be a nightmare and headache for life, making occasions that should be pleasant (family holidays and get-togethers) unpleasant for all.
8. Resourceful and financially responsible. A responsible-minded man wants a woman who can take care of a home and budget a household with wisdom, so they always have a roof over their heads. A prosperous woman doesn’t spend $2,000 on a pair of shoes because she knows the fashion game; she knows the true value of things and how to look  good without paying a fortune.
9. Trustworthy. A prosperous-minded man wants a wife who can be trusted with his money, his children, his health and his life. She needs to make sensible and practical decisions that concern the family and household, to better the community and society. An upstanding man never wants a mate who recklessly leaves a legacy of children, who turn out to make the world worst, rather than better.  
10. Self-confident. A woman who is confident in the Lord, is not emotionally needy or lacking anything to be a whole person. A woman, confident in the Lord, puts her trust in God, above her husband, to guide him when he needs sound advice, to maintain the prosperity of the family.
